Bucks fade down stretch in loss at Chicago

The Bucks trailed the Bulls by just two points with five minutes to play, but couldn't find a late push in a 100-90 loss at the United Center Monday night.

Jerryd Bayless scored 20 for the Bucks, while Jabari Parker and Khris Middleton added 18 each. Greg Monroe's bucket with 4:52 remaining made it an 85-83 Bulls lead, but outside of a single made free throw, it would be four minutes until the Bucks next basket. Pau Gasol's layup just inside of a minute to play put Chicago ahead by 10.

The Bucks have won just eight road games all season. They return home to face the Miami Heat and former MU star Dwyane Wade Wednesday night.
